Story
As many of you know when Leovani was only 2 weeks old he was admitted to hospital with Group B Strep, we were very lucky to have caught this nasty infection early enough so that it won’t caused any long term problems.
I am walking/running/cycling 100k in July to raise awareness of this infection and I would be grateful for donations no matter how small.
Group B Streptococcus is the UK's most common cause of life-threatening infection in newborn babies and of meningitis in babies under age 3 months. On average in the UK, at least-two babies a day develop a group B Strep infection -one baby a week dies from their GBS infection, and-one baby a week survives with long-term disabilities – physical, mental or both.Yet most group B Strep infections are preventable. Group B Strep Support informs families & health professionals about group B Strep to save tiny lives.
